I don't look up at the night sky
I've never even thought of looking up there
Because, what is there to see in the Tokyo sky during the night?
//Even during the night, this city's sky is so bright you can't expect to see anything
That's why
//Not knowing any sky but the one over Tokyo, I don't look up at the night sky

Minato: Eh

p1
Girl: I've heard some rumors
Girl: They're all pretty weird
Minato: W- Weird!?

p2
Girl: Anyway, it's better not to have anything to do with them
//Girl: You too should be careful, Mizutani-san
Minato: Y- Yeah

But my days were already filled with my lack of motivation

Friend1: It's not your fault, Minato
Friend2: We're still friends, even if we'll be in different high schools!
Friend3: Let's all hang out together again!

p5
And please don't build a school in a god-forsaken place like this!
Is this really in Tokyo!?

p6
---Something like that

11
p1
I know that these are nothing but excuses
//If I would just speak up, this gloomy feeling might lift at least a little

p2
Mizutani-san!

p3

p4
Minato: Yes, Sensei
Teacher: Mizutani-san, you're not in any clubs? You have time, right?
//Teacher: Sorry about this, but I need you to do something for me

p5
Minato: Y- Yes
Teacher: It's about these posters

p6
Come all!
The Astronomy Club!!
Would you like to experience the mystery of the universe?

p2
Minato: The astronomy club...?
Teacher: There's no astronomy club in our school

p3

Teacher: More importantly, you are not allowed to post anything outside of the bulletin board
//Teacher: Can you help me taking them all down?
Minato: Y- Yes, understood

They're really all over the place

Alright, then what are you interested in?

Souji: More importantly, look

p3
Kya

p4
Look at the sky

24-25
p1

p2
........
So many stars...

p3
No way, in Tokyo!?

p4
Since the school occupies a wide area
If the houses nearby also go dark, you can see pretty well

p5
Yep!
In Hokkaido or in Tokyo, if you want to see the stars, you can do it

p6
Aha
//Because the stars are everywhere

26
p1

p2
Box: I didn't use to look up at the night sky
Box: Because, what was there to see in the Tokyo sky during the night?
Souji: That's right!
//Souji: You can see them anywhere
Box: Something to look forward to--

p3
You're not someone who'd give up from the start and not look up at the sky, are you?

p4

p5
Oh!

27
p1
Ranko: It's back!
Youichi: It came back faster than I expected

What was here for me?
For someone who never tried to look?
